The esc heating up more with only partial throttle use is normal- the esc has to work harder (higher switching rate) making it less efficient- full throttle is when the esc is most happy and runs cooler.. its like a sign

Unrelated Q for you Patrick:
Will the MMM v6 be using the same Fets as the MMPro, and have the adjustable BEC feature, maybe even the data logging feature too? If so, maybe it should be called the MMMPro?..
Another thought before I got to bed (1am here), assuming you do stick the car software/firmware into one of your ICE escs later down the line to make a HV car esc as such, would you be calling it the ICE Monster or the B.F. ESC as discussed a long time ago when a HV MMM was being wished for?
I do believe that either option would be rather cool...

I can't comment on the feature set of the V6. Sorry...
We don't have plans (yet) to release the ICE as a strictly car version. We are talking about it though...

I understand
Really should have an ICE car controller though, the 1/5 boys would love that, compared to the over priced MGM escs and auto-destructing Schulzes that are the only real current options for a proper car esc with brakes.

lol, that's the trick though; getting people to set it up right at full throttle. I write software for a living and well know that no matter how well it is thought out and bullet-proof you make it, there will always be the idiot that can break it.

I wouldn't mind getting paid to break things... I've got a knack for it.

As long as Traxxas doesn't flip out because they think you're copying their "Training Mode" it would be a nice addition. Even at 50% throttle an E-Baja is still a weapon, I've hit myself with my gas baja a time or two and it doesn't exactly tickle.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

Yes, new and improved!
It's the redesigned version of the Mamba Max, but this one handles 6S operation. It also has a sensored port for those of us running sensored motors.
It has several modes of operation.
http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...a_max_pro.html
Check it out, but beware.........viewing that webpage is gonna make you want one. LOL

I think it's like war.
CC will try to make a controller that is as tough as nails, while the noobs out there will fight back buy getting their hands on the highest KV motors CC offers and pairing it with even taller gearing and crappy batteries in heavy all metal trucks!
